I chose to write about Gregory Crewdson.
Greg was born in the USA, Brooklyn. he attended john dewey high school and graduated early.
As a teenager he was part of a band called the The Speedies their song, "Let Me Take Your Photo" influenced his career path. In the 19080's Greg studied photography at SUNY purchase. He received his master in fine arts from Yale university.
He taught at many universities including Yale university. He was also the subject for the film Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters.
Crewdson is represented by Gagosian Gallery worldwide and by White Cube Gallery in London.

The atmosphere in this picture is moody and dark as there is only a few lights on, and there is only a few people visible this could be to show a mysterious setting and to show the small town has a hidden secret. The fact that only one car has left any trails is mysterious as it would take quite along time to build up.

The atmosphere in this picture is quite dark as there is only 5 light sources which produce a small amount of light each the main light source is the ambient lighting. The reason i think that Gregory Crewdson wanted the picture to have a dark atmosphere is to portray the emotions of the woman, I came to this conclusion by by seeing the emotion on her and the rose petals that are on the ground could be representing that she has lost her love..

This looks as if someone is either trying to bury something or is trying dig something up, if its the former the question is what is he trying to get at, but if its the latter the question is what is he trying to hide and from who? The way he is looking at the suitcase in-front of him and how his hands are imply that its the former, that he is trying to get at something.
